Contractors in Town.

Contractors III FOWL.
One of the features Of the meeting was the
presence in the city Of lnrge number Oh
prominent railroad contractors. These gen
tlemeu seem TO be pretty well assured mat
the project Is q certainty and are ready TO put
in their bids for construction: They are w.
of Virginia. J. B. Evans, Rutherford county,
Y. G.; r. S. Coleman, of Rice & Cole
South Carolina; DR.. Humbrick, Of North
Carolina; j. Fl. Winslow, North carolina.
The activity of the contractors, ready 10 take
hold, was one of the most assuring features OF
the meeting.
What the Board Did.
The board Of directors transacted but little
business besides hearing the propositions. Sd Of
the different delegations. They accepted
several additional subscriptions, which now
makes the amount pledged to the entire line
six hun ndred thousand dollars. They also In
structed Gen. Hoke to give out the contract
for grading between the North Carolina line
and Chester, s. Ca distance Of 45 miles IN
the event that suitable arrangements can he
made. It Is thought the contracts Will be
awarded next week.
The contest yesterday before the board Of
directors was two-fold. The High Shoals and
Monroe route was contending for the line
Iawrenceville route W rs disputing this claim.
Both sides had exhaustive hearing before the
board. East Of Athens Elberton made her
showing as commandnG point On II me AIR
ing the road itself, tried to induce the board
to defect the line below Elberton 80 that the
former town could tap the system at her best
advantage. 1t was the opinion OF those who
heard the arguments. that Elberton had the
best of the position in this discussion. Her
claims are regarded as virtually settled In her
favor.
The present management have been very
chary about accepting subscriptions. Not
every man who opened his purse or offered
his name was allowed to enrolled himself on
the lists. The danger was that some one
hostile to the enterprise might become a
stock holder, and by injunction, or other OBJ.
struction seek to embarrass the road. This
list has been kept In strict espionage and one
or two efforts from rival systems to slip In
have been detectey. It was for this reason
that the new stock which had been subscrib-
ed In Athens was not recognized until 1t had
been inspected and approved by the board OF
directors. The G., G. & N. Is determined to
steer clear Of scoops and wooden horses.
The Road a Certainty.
In regard to the building OF the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern. Mr.. Hoke Smith said
Yesterday: 'The roed Is now certainty; 1t
passed out of doubt to-day. 1t never has
been certainty until to-day. We have
$500 900 In absolutely good subscriptions. The
security for the road was rendered us to-day,
and our agent wired US to-day. and we wired
him 1t was accepted. There Is no doubt ABOUT
IL being built"

The Washington delegation, consisting OF c.

The Washington delegates declI to tell The
Banner Rutchnan representatives anything
ed was through outside sources. 1t is stated
that Washington made no formal proposition,
but told the management that II the road
was brought nearer Washington something
like forty thousand dollars In subscriptions
would be raised. Nothing definite was stated.

How CHARCOAL IS MADE" Char
coal is duly appreciated by lazy wo-
men," said a dealer in that commodity
to II reporter. With it one can
build fire in five minutes. It is
cheap. l sell charcoal at So per caul-
dron, but venders deal it out at 35
cents per bushsl. Yes, charcoal is a
little dearer than coal, but the latter
doesn't go SO far or last so long. The
best charcoal used by tin roOfers OF
plumbers is made in the Catskills, OF
in the woods of New Jersey. 1t is
made in this way: A cord of wood is
placed in clear piece of ground, with
the sticks standing upright. In the
middle Il stake is driven. The fine and
coarse woods are mixed closely togeth.
er so as to make a firm pile. The
whole is covered with sod and earth
A fire is lighted in the center of the
pile, on the top of which hole is cut
SO as TO allow the smoke to escape
The fire is permitted to shoulder fo,
twelve or fifteen days, when the sod il
taken off. A cord of wood will turn
out from twenty to thirty bushels o.
charcoal. In former years much
more charcoal peddling was done thar
now. The trade has pretty well pc
tered out, however, owing to the man,
hard-coal peddlers. s."-Brooklyn Eagle

The President of the Senate.

The Senate at Washington has elect
ed John James Ingalls,, of Kansas, it,
presiding Offices, in the place of John
Sherman, resigned. 1t was considered
that he was entitled to the honor by
virtue of long service in that body
by his familiarity with parliamentary
rules. and by his ability in the chair
AS President pro tenn, he will probably
continue to occupy the chair until his
resignation, or the election of Vice.
President of the United States, the Re.
publican majority in the Senate being
seemingly assured until the advent Of
a new administration.
Senator ingalls, is a conspicuous
statesman, an orator, a scholar, an un-
compromising party man, and perhaps
the ablest debator in the body which
has just honored him with it's presi-
dcncy. His power of invective was
exhibited in the recent discussion of
fishermen's complaints against the
Canadian authorities, when he fiercely
assailed the policy of the United
Kingdom. In appearance he is tall
and slender, and has an intellectual
countenance. He was born at Mid
dleton, Mass, December 80, 1888.
When twenty-five years old he was
graduated from Williams College. He
was admitted to the bar in 1857. When
twenty-five years old he removed West,
making Atchison, Kansas, his place of
residence. He soon became leading
lawyer in that centre and its neighbor-
hood. In 1859 he was a member of
the Wyandotte Constitutional Conyen-
ton and Secretary of the Territorial
Council. He was Secretary Of the
State Senate in 1861, and the next
year elected a member of that body.
In lS63-G5 he was Major, Lieutenant
Colonel and Judge-Advocate Kansas
Volunteers. He has been United
States Senator since 1872, and twice
reelected.
The President of the United States
Senate was newpaper man at one
period of his life, and his pen is an
effective instrument. He is a married
man, and has large family,

JEFFERsONIAN CIVIL SERVICE Re-
FORM.-When it is considered that,
during the late Administration, those
who were not of particular sect of
politics were excluded from all office +;
when, by steady pursuit of this meas
ure, nearly the whole offices of the
United States were monopolized by
that sect; when the public sentiment
at length declared itself, and burst
open the doors of honor and conf
dence to those whose opinions it ap-
proved. was it to be imagined that this
monopoly of Office were to be con-
tinued in the hands of the minority? {?
Does it violate their equal rights to
assert some rights in the majority also?
Is it political intolerance to claim a
proportionate share in the direction of
the public affairs? If due participa-
ton of Office is a matter of right,
how are vacancies to be obtained?
Those by death are few, by resignation
none. Can any other mode than that
of removal be proposed?-From Jefer-
sons Letter to New England Federalists.
